32. Yep it should be thrown out - just trash it

Sat Jan 15, 2022, 06:21 PM

Jan 2022

I remember researching family ancestors through old census data. I learned that one of them - maybe it was 1880 or 1980 - was completely destroyed by fire. This happened long before the days of digital records. The Census records for that year had been stored in one building and they all burned.

Everything is now kept digitally of course, and old books have all been scanned and archived. So presumably that can't happen again. There is a precedent for the disappearance of Census records. That's what needs to happen with 2020.
